The diagnosis of cancer can leave a person reeling and in shock. Fear of the unknown, lifestyle changes, and the effects of treatment require a great deal of emotional and physical energy. We feel scared for them too. When geographic distance doesn't allow us to be there, we struggle with ideas about what we can do to help encourage them through their treatment and recovery. We designed this care package to include soothing products for relief from treatment side effects, plus a little extra love.
This Care Package offers:
Aromatherapy Hot/Cold Weighted Neck Wraps | Calm Your Vibes
This therapeutic neck wrap is filled with flax seed and lavender, providing light pressure on acupressure points with the soothing scent of lavender. Use warm or cold to give relief around the neck and shoulders the same way a weighted blanket works for the body.
Rosemary Mint Lotion Bar | Good Earth Soap
Chemotherapy and radiation can create skin changes and dryness. Lotion Bars are wonderful for their compact size, emollient superpowers, and wonderful aromas. Zero waste cardboard push-up container. 100% recyclable. Handmade with almond oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, and essential oils. Easy to pop into a purse for treatment day, or use at the bedside during recovery time.
Cup of Love Tea Sachets | Big Heart Tea Co.
Cup of Love is a mild, nurturing, naturally sweet rose tea handcrafted to reduce stress and soothe one's soul. There is no better-named product to send to a person going through treatment or recovery than "Cup of Love!" Organic rose and organic tulsi tea. Recyclable outer packaging and 100% compostable inner packaging.
Spearmints and Lemon Mints | C. Howard's
Combat the dry mouth effect (or bad taste in the mouth) from treatment with these tasty mints with a retro, vintage flair! Lemon Mint and Spearmint flavors to keep at the bedside or in a purse.
Grapefruit Lime Lip Balm | Good Earth Soap Co.
Relieve dry, cracked lips with lip balm made with ethically-sourced almond oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax or candela wax, and essential oils. Handmade, cruelty-free.
All care packages include a handwritten note delivered in a coordinating envelope and sealed with a sticker affixed to the inside box lid. Write your message for your loved one at checkout. Don't know what to say? We can help! This article details a few ideas.
Substitutions: While this doesn't happen very often, there are times when we need to make a substitute for items inboxes if we run into supply chain issues. Our pledge to you is that if this does happen, we will substitute it with an item of equal or greater value and do our best to include something as similar as possible. Please keep in mind this is rare, but we keep it transparent around here!
